Volar was originally a market vendor from Varisia, but fate decided on one drunken night that his life was in for a change. The next morning he woke up as a press ganged crew member on a ship sailing the shackles!
Volar kept his head down and stuck it out for almost a year until he was trusted, then the next time the ship was in port he took off into the jungles of the Sodden Lands to try to escape the ruthless captain and his crew. Assumed dead by the rest of the crew, he wandered aimlessly until a chance encounter with an ape almost as large as himself!
Rather than attack him the creature just stared at him for about a minute. Volar was too scared to move, but just as he'd given up hope the ape offered him some fruit it had gathered while showing off a huge smile on his face!
From that day on the two were inseparable. Smiler, as Volar named his ape friend, showed Volar how to survive in the wild. It was during this time that Volar discovered his innate skill with nature and natural magics. He decided to find a more reputable group that could better further his dreams of being the most traveled trader in all of Golarion. The Pathfinders seemed like a good fit, so he and Smiler joined up with them and they haven't looked back since.
